I listened again to Trump's nomination speech. There's a certain idealism in him despite his wealth ...

Trump displays the classic symptoms of a narcissistic egomaniac, constantly seeking the adulation of the public by pandering to their passions and prejudices. Everywhere he looks, he always sees himself in reflected glory, unable to accept any blemish on his image. Surrounding himself with sycophants, he feels at home with those who are most likely to feed his ego. There is nothing idealistic but everything realistic about his nationalist ideology which views the state of America in stark terms in need of his grand plan to revive his country. Combining nativist xenophobia with economic self-interest, his brand of nationalism is quite pragmatic which serves his fellow country-club Capitalists quite well.
